The book Fundamentals of Model Boat Building is written by the team of John Into and Nancy Price, who have been building models together professionally since 1999 – they create every piece of every model themselves. In the book, they walk you through the construction of a model based on the “Annie Buck,” a Chesapeake Bay “Deadrise” workboat, incorporating structural elements, paper models, hull features and mechanical drawings that will teach skills for use in other models. The book also explains how to read marine drawings for reference and includes a gallery of finished models. Fundamentals of Model Boat Building (ISBN 9780764331053) is priced at $34.99.
